    The CPC caucus are the ones who need to enforce accountability and decency in their own party. I don’t think they will, because the strategy of attacking the centre while making the far right feel welcome is what expanded their vote share, and Poilievre is their guy for that. They’ll be looking at it and recognizing that if they lose the far right and lose their attack dog who tears down opponents, they will lose vote share. So, even though he’s toxic and lost his own seat, I suspect they’ll back him, and it will be bad for Canada.

      Why was parliament even prorogued for so long during all these tariff threats, was it something the conservatives did?

        What a random and disconnected reply to my comment. Odd. Not sure what to do with that.

          I just remembered that parliament cant even function, and I was assuming it was them that were doing it, as a matter of enforcing accountability.

            Maybe you’re confused about what I mean by CPC caucus? Those are the elected MPs in the Conservative party. They ultimately vote on who is the leader of the party, but that’s something they do outside of parliament. They just do it in their own party organization. That’s what I mean about holding him accountable, because they can choose to replace him with another leader, or they can choose to keep him as leader even after losing the election and losing his own seat.
